Hello! My name is Bomin Kim, and I am from Seoul, South Korea. I am currently an exchange student at San Diego State University (SDSU). I am a sophomore, and I am Korean, but my home university is in Japan. At my home university, my major is Intercultural Communication, but here at SDSU, I am studying Psychology. I decided to explore psychology during my exchange program because I am interested in human behavior, how people think, and how cultural backgrounds shape our minds. I believe that this learning can help me better understand human interactions in a globalized world.

I really love animals, and dogs are definitely my favorite. I also have a dog named Byeol, which means star in Korean, and he has been an important part of my life since I was around 13. Also, in my free time, I enjoy spending time with friends, whether it’s hanging out, exploring new places, or trying new foods together. At the same time, I also love having quiet days at home to relax and recharge. Another thing I really enjoy is listening to music. One of my favorite songs is Daydreamin’ by Ariana Grande, which I never get tired of listening to. I also enjoy learning new languages. Right now, I speak Korean, Japanese, and English, and I’m currently studying Chinese. It’s challenging, but also very fun and exciting for me.

The reason I chose to study abroad is not only to improve my English skills but also to broaden my worldview. I believe that stepping out of my comfort zone and living in different countries will help me for a future career where international cooperation and understanding are essential.

Thank you for reading my introduction, and I am really looking forward to learning more and sharing thoughts!
